Scammers LOVE gmail more than yahoo. Why? Gmail (google) has dropped the
ball on reporting scammers. Scammers know in the time window that it takes
someone to notice (or people just delete offending email) the scammers have
usually already done their work. At least yahoo while being prone to being
hacked (I get 5-20 of them PER DAY) has a instant form one can fill out
where it can shut them down. Windows Live is the best and instantly shuts
down scammers. Gmail is the WORST, followed by Yahoo on shutting down
scammers.
How bad is yahoo hacked accounts sending spam? So bad I have their 'report
spam' link in my toolbar!!!!
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/spam.htmlGoogle or gmail could learn from that quick link (instead of making those
who want to report spam jump thru hoops to do so) and
do same for instant
shutdown of those who abuse their systems. Just my 4.9 cents adjusted for
Obamas sh*t economy.

or at the very least change your passwords to something with at least eight
characters in it, that contains an uppercase and a lowercase letter, a
number AND a special character such as anything along the top row of your
keyboard!? Do not, I repeat, do NOT make a password that
is a common word
found in the dictionary. Don't make your password, for example, fred123 or
hornet or javabc.
Yahoo accounts in particular are prone to getting hacked. I really don't
know why people still use them and how they manage to stay in business.
It's horrible.
Please update your password RIGHT NOW. "
